Top 5 Drum & Bass labels?

get ready for the banter....

To me, in no particular order:

Hospital
Good Looking
Fokuz
Soul:R / Signature
Horizons

Honorable mentions to shogun, integral and metalheadz
 
Shogun
Critical
Horizons

The final 2 places are up for grabs and I'll have to think about it for a while
 
depends if you mean now or all time...

All time woudl be

Reinforced
Moving Shadow
V/Full Cycle/Philly
Formation
Metalheadz
Ram
Dread


Right now....very hard to say, bearing in mind back in the day you would get EP's where every track was wicked, there was maybe one crap release per 20 releases if that, and record shopping was a bastid cos you wanted teh whole week's stock. ...but based on current output, consistancy, and generally phat trax...

DNA
Shogun
Future Thinkin
Signature
Metalheadz
Calypso
Dread
 
Shogun - Top quality releases everytime
Ram - Reponsible for most of the recent dancefloor smashers
Hospital - Huge back catalogue and still going strong
Metalheadz - Proves goldie knows what he's doing
Ninja Tune - Not strictly DNB, but one of the most underated labels

Love ninja tunes and if you are on that flex then Stones Throw deserves a mention too.
 
Its hard to only pick 5 really as there are so many wicked labels around that I wanna pay respect to. They all push the sounds that I really really enjoy. So off the top of my head the ones I always seem to buying from:

Shogun
Fokuz
Critical
Soul:R
Horizons
Signature
Hospital
Spearhead
Commercial Suicide
Nu Directions
Quarantine
C.I.A

Yeah I can't narrow it down to 5 because of the different style labels offer, etc..but nice one on the choices that are some of my fav liquid labels...
 
Oh yeah how could I forget C.I.A. That would round out my top 5.

I love marky's label Innerground, but they don't put out enough material. The stuff they do release is sick, though.

I also can't wait until Makoto's label takes off. Sweet jazzy liquid goodness.
